The alternative federated protocols seem too complicated. I see a lot about the need for progressive enhancement on the web, but when it comes to communication systems people seem to abandon that requirement. Part of my nostalgia for RSS comes from how easy it was to get started.

Yes! This is exactly why we've been taking this more incremental approach with #IndieWeb building blocks, like adding Microformats to turn a web page into a parseable feed, then Webmention to enable conversations, etc.

  Indeed! The original OStatus protocol had similar composable/progressive features (though machine readable first not human first). But the notion is the same. Barriers to adoption are amongst the primary problems you need to solve in order to achieve web scale.
